I want to buy a new PC, but I never knew how to get my mother to allow it.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a very tingling experience…
I bought a laptop about a year ago. My parents set our internet so that I only had internet access for 45 minutes a day. I downloaded some offline games and games that I can play offline while I was online. I really gambled for 2 hours a day. Whenever someone came to my door I quickly closed my laptop and acted as if nothing had happened. However, she caught me a few times and then there was often trouble. Finally I resold the laptop.
The only problem is that she thinks it won't work with me and my own PC because she still thinks of that time.
Do you have any ideas how I can convince them? I realized that I overdid it a little back then. I would also pay the PC 100% myself.
Have you ever had similar situations and can you give me tips on this?
Yes, I will learn to gamble a little more because then I will have more motivation and also say that I can only gamble if I have really learned so well that I'm ready for a next job and gamble little or with breaks then it works very often.
Say something like that you need the PC for homework and school presentations and essays.
2 hours a day is too much? Do they know how quickly they are over? In addition, if you go to work yourself, who can also pay for it yourself and who can't forbid you to buy it, it is ultimately YOUR money.
Internet use and PC use is something different. What was agreed then?
That you can only use the computer for 45 minutes a day?
Then you cheated on your mother (your parents).
Say you want to use it more sensibly now and give it another chance.
In addition, do your homework and household chores first. And get better at school…
If you write loud ones, then your parents can't say anything against the fact that you are sitting at the PC…
